What are some technological solutions to climate change?
>>
First world countries caused climate change. They should let in millions of climate refugees into their countries as compensation for the damage caused.
>>
>>109506401
Look at how all the first world countries won't get hurt or move away because they're all comfy.
The third world has to move.
>>
>>109506446
As a white person, I want to apologise for me and my ancestors causing climate change.
I think in future, we will have to tame tens or hundreds of millions of climate refugees from the global south. This huge influx of people will almost certainly change our way of life, but there is no other option. It is the least we can do atone for our sins.
>>
>>109506401
These doom scenarios always fail to consider that wealthier countries can adapt to climate change much more effectively.
Money can buy air conditioning, flood defenses, and hurricane-resistant infrastructure.
If the 3rd world embraced capitalism and individual rights rather than socialist dictators then there wouldn't be such a problem.
Greenhouse gases still need to be cut but the best way is a carbon tax - let the market figure it out.

Fuck that shit.
How can we """change climate""" even more?
2050 is too fucking far away.
>>
climate change doom today is what population explosion doom was 50 yrs ago, an irrelevant nothing burger especially with what we've seen ai come up with, once ai can do automatic science in the lab the same way it's solving math conjectures, this will sound like a dry fart, we'll have to graduate from tiny problems like nuclear war, climate change, etc to big problems like billions of people losing meaning because they don't have work to do all day, those are the kind of problems that would wipe us out faster since we've never had to deal with them at any meaningful scale and every solution we try has the potential to be catastrophic
>>
>>109506646
true, AI is a much more important and urgent issue than climate change
>>
>>109506686
Not him, I think you might be being sarcastic but that's unironically true. AI and automation is the only hope for western countries unless they're willing to completely brown their country or go full sharia lmao.

>>
>>109506401
Listen up here yall. Here's the important take away for all yall up in this bitch.

<< IT DOESNT MATTER >>

Your opinion and anything you will ever do, say or otherwise believe when it comes to migration and climate change, does not matter.

Every single decision that's been taken, every single path thats been chosen, are set and final. You will not see change in these matter in your lifetime, even if you were a fucking 1 year old right now, which i pretty much doubt.

All you will ever see is the tepid baritone and pace at which things decline, education, health, transport, job market, retirement, etc

Now that you know, just relax and accept this, dont trouble yourself too much and adjust your expectations.

thats the truth. people coming from places where analphabetism is the norm, not an exception will only be a netto drain on societies that run on specialization, and high tech industries
>>
>>109506446
Climate change is primarily caused by things completely outside human control. It's primarily caused by the Earth's orbit in our solar system, by geothermal and tectonic events on our planet, nature itself, etc. It's the same as the fact that most species have gone extinct completely naturally without any human intervention whatsoever.
Humans simply think they're sooo important and powerful, when reality begs to differ.

CO2 emissions, the trash we produce and deforestation don't really matter as much as you'd think. If you removed humanity from our planet nothing would change. There were 5 fucking ice ages before the first human ever walked on Earth, and there were multiple serious "global warming" events which lasted thousands and hundreds of thousands of years.

i'm sorry. i lost my reddit account password.
at the geological scale, there's been a lot of climate change going on. and looking at it from a larger time scale, what do a few degrees even matter as long as the oceans aren't yet boiling. you're right, bro. how could i not see this? and other planets' inhabitants have it worse than us. look at venus for example. not a good place to live.
>>
>>109507482
>venus
nah yeah exactly what you were pointing to
and the data doesnt support your concerns in the slightest

more immediate problems:
the pervasive use of plastic, resulting in pollution of the whole foodchain with microplastics and the creation of the great garbage patch

heavy metals poisoning of our seas to such an extent that doctor recommendations changed from recommending eating fish to disencouraging it for pregnant women

pesticides, fertlizers killing our soils, and polluting our ground waters to such an extent 99% of reserves of fresh water are tainted

but yeah sure, focus on muh glimayt shanjj, the one thing that can be safely ignored for now
because its the one thing thats actually convenient to push to force delocalization to...
...rolling drums...
places that dont fucking care about co2 emissions, or any industrial standards whatsoever, exploding the carbon footprint thanks to laxitude in said standards and the added cost of non-local production

you enviro retards are not only mentally handicapped
youre also big fat posers because you dont actually care about issues that affect us today
>>
>>109506446
No, it is the entire human species that did it. Biome shifts via civilization did most of the damage. CO2 emissions are just are convenient scapegoat.
>>109506529
It is far too late. The point of no return was before WWI. We are just accelerating the avalanche of positive-feedback effects.

>>109509125
I think the issue is whether climate change is anthropogenic. If it is, which this graph suggests it isn’t, then humanity should either a) look at solutions beyond “greenhouse emission bad” or b) recognize that we are not capable of meaningfully altering the climate.

Personally I think we should use climate change as an excuse to colonize mars. If we’re so good at heating up planets, we could make mars nice and toasty in no time.

>should we bring back dinosaurs too?
Heck yes we should.

>>109510196
Now you're changing the topic. We are talking about climate change here.
Air pollution of other kinds is only harmful to the locals and surrounding countries, not to westerners.
But if we're going that rabbit hole, then most environmental pollution in developing countries are because first world countries de-indutrialized and dumped their harmful industries on to those countries for their consumption needs.
The historical AQI of many ex industrial towns were almost as bad.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00157419
>>109510209
Also I'll add that most garbage produced by third world countries are organic. When people think about India, the image the conjure up is someone shitting in streets. Which still harmful isn't as destructive to environment as industrial dumping of inorganic chemical wastes.

the biggest problem of climate change is collapsing agriculture yields. not just crops, but also marine life is already being impacted negatively.

aerosol injection and seawater co2 removal are linked solution, because most proposed aerosols would de-acidify the ocean when they degrade (which would cause co2 removal from the oceans)

nta, but iron fertilization has been tried already.
there have been at least a dozen+ attempts, with varying results.

while it did certainly capture some carbon (quantities we can't measure). it was almost always an ecological failure, because some planktons (bloom) have a reproductive advantage and will create an ecosystem filled with a single plankton type. some experiments have shown that actual harmful planktons would become dominant and release even more toxic gases (nox and methane) as they decompose.
